Chapter 717 Science and technology are the primary productive force
With Yun Shuhuai’s help, the two bases have developed rapidly.
Scientists have found that almost every time they encounter a bottleneck, Yun Shuhuai can come up with something that can solve their problems.
If it weren’t for the sophisticated instruments and a large amount of data and literature she provided, it would take a long time to catch up with the development level of the early days of the apocalypse.
Yun Shuhuai even got some top technologies that have been blocked by developed countries for decades. Although if these things were taken out before the apocalypse, the country would definitely regard them as heroes, protect them well and provide the best treatment.
But in the apocalypse, the technological level of these things is too high and they are of no use to current life, but who knows in the future.
What's more, which scientist is not crazy about this kind of technology that he doesn't have? In the past, he was blocked by other countries' technology and could only watch them make huge profits from it. But now that the technology is in his hands, he must study it carefully and study it thoroughly for his own use.
Gradually, these scientists all regarded her as an omnipotent robot cat, hoping that she could get more out of her magical space.
But Yun Shuhuai is not a professional, and she doesn't know what the base really needs. Sometimes, she can think of it and find out what they need with the reminder of scientists.
Therefore, the base chiefs of the two bases sent Liang Yi and Cheng Jiayi to pass on the message to try to get more relevant information from Yun Shuhuai.
The scientists at the base, who had access to a large amount of ready-made data and equipment, lived up to expectations and achieved many achievements.
The greatest achievement was the research on the controllability of lightning-related supernatural powers.
The electricity used by the two bases previously relied on the nearby hydroelectric power plant that was still in operation.
But it has been eight years since the end of the world, and the power plant has become increasingly aged. Without maintenance, it may be cut off at any time.
The electricity generated by the generator and solar panels is only enough for daily life, and it is simply not enough to drive some equipment that requires a lot of electricity.
In order to solve this problem, the base restarted the research on the controllability of lightning-related supernatural powers.
Except for lightning powers, other powers can be used in human daily life, and lightning powers are useless except for killing zombies.
Therefore, when it is safe, lightning powers can only do some boring patrol work. They envy other powers for living a colorful life.
Similarly, scientists in the base envy them for being able to use precious electricity and want the lightning they produce to be used by humans.
Now that they have various precious research equipment, the technicians in the base began to study lightning powers.
Hard work pays off. After more than three months of research, they really figured it out.
All this is thanks to Yun Shuhuai. Because of the special nature of her ability, her control over energy can be said to be pure. She can release extremely weak lightning, which can light up a light bulb without damaging the line.
With her as a comparison, a group of scientists designed a device that can weaken lightning energy. When
a lightning-type esper places his hand on it and releases the smallest lightning, it will be weakened layer by layer by the fine insulating materials inside, and finally transmitted out and turned into usable current.
With this, the base will no longer lack electricity in the future.
But the cost of that device is extremely high, and it uses the most precious materials. And because the power of the lightning-type psychic is too overbearing, even a small current has a very strong destructive force, resulting in a short service life of the device.
However, Yun Shuhuai does have this material, and her space can also strengthen the equipment and increase its service life.
When the technology is more sophisticated in the future, maybe it will be possible to produce cheaper and more durable equipment.
In addition, when scientists were studying superpowers, they made a huge discovery-human lifespan seems to have increased!
They found that the cells of superpowers are more active than those of ordinary people, and can divide two to three times more often. This means that the life span of superpowers can be longer, two to three times longer than that of humans before the apocalypse - a superpower can probably live to more than 300 years old!
Not only that, even the life span of ordinary people has been greatly increased, and it is not a problem for the long-lived to live to almost 200 years old.
This discovery has caused a great response among survivors around the world.
No wonder some people feel that they have not changed much after eight years, and some older people also feel that their bodies are getting better and better.
In the past, many people thought that they were numb and had no light in the apocalypse, and as long as they could live this short life well, it would be enough.
But knowing that he may have more than a hundred years to live, and that most of the survivors are in their prime, how can he live a life of mediocrity? Naturally, he fought for a happy life in the future.
Therefore, the work and study atmosphere in the base became more intense.
